A TV news reporter in Alaska is making the headlines today instead of just reading them.

KTVA journalists, Charlo Greene, quit her job on live TV last night after outing herself as the owner of an Alaskan cannabis club.

After she had made the startling declaration, she said "f*** it. I quit".

Green told shocked viewers that she would be putting all her energy into the fight to legalise marijuana in the state.

She had previously reported on Alaska Cannabis Club without mentioning that she was the owner.

In a jaw-dropping twist at the end of her report she said: "Now everything you heard is why I, the actual owner of the Alaska Cannabis Club, will be dedicating all of my energy for fighting for freedom and fairness which begins with legalizing marijuana here in Alaska.

"And as for this job, well, not that I have a choice but, f*ck it. I quit.

Last night they urged their Facebook followers to tune into KTVA earlier in the evening.

Following Greene's shocking revelation she dropped her mic and stormed off the set, leaving the show's main anchor stumbling and speechless.

The station took to Twitter saying that Green had been "terminated".

"Viewers, we sincerely apologize for the inappropriate language used by a KTVA reporter on the air tonight," it wrote.
